Departments and Administrative Offices
Definition
Academic Departments/Services such as History, Nursing or Mikkelsen Library;
Administrative
Units such as the Recreational Services or Student Health &
Counseling Services. These pages will be designed, created, and maintained
at the direction of the individual department/unit in accordance
with the following:
Requirements
- contact name and e-mail address of the department/office
on each main section or web site
- a link to the Augustana home page on the main page
- compliance with current copyright law
- all Augustana College identifier graphics (those pertaining to the College,
not necessarily department/office) must come from the Augustana College Images for Electronic Publications,
unless prior permission has been obtained for use
of
other identifiers
- an appropriate footer approved by the WWW Committee to provide site consistency,
this may include the link to the Augustana home page
- a list of current faculty with contact
information (academic departments only)
- a link to their current curriculum (academic departments only)
Recommendations
- the date the page was last updated where appropriate
- listing of faculty interests/research (academic departments only)
- pictures of faculty (academic departments only)
- compliance with
the HTML 4.0 standard (transitional) as verified by a validation service
-
Use relative URLs for internal links when constructing pages. Transferring
sites/pages is much easier with relative URLs because it isn't necessary
to change every link within a site/page.
- Check the pages with a variety of computers and browsers. Colors vary
from PC to Macs, as well as on different monitors.
-
As a rule of thumb, try to keep the total size of a page/document including
images under 60kb. Slow connections due to modems or congestion on
the Internet make it frustrating to wait for a large page to load.
-
If information already exists in another page on the Augustana site, consider
linking to that page rather than re-typing the information. The fewer
places information has to be changed, the less likely there will be conflicting
information on the site.
- include a copyright statement
Server
Department/Office sites should reside on
www.augie.edu. Sites may reside on alternative servers if agreed to
by the WWW Committee and/or Webmaster.
